To the right, outside of the field of the picture, is an iconic food hall for international cuisine as well as for Swedish fish and crustacean cuisine.

I'm going to guess that Swedish Fish are not the same thing in Sweden as they are in the US.

“Malaco pastellfiskar” or “Malaco-fiskar” used to be a semi-popular candy, that lost their popularity in Sweden in the 1990’s. It surprised me and my family a lot when we were abroad, especially in they US (and the Bahamas(!?!?)) that they’d been so popular, as we Swedes didn’t like them much in general once we got more candy varieties to choose from.

I am mildly amused with the thought that anyone thought these bland, (very) vaguely fruit flavoured, gelly candies were in any way something that was appreciated in Sweden once we could get international imports.

Nice piece of history! I think this is the modern view of the same store.

There is a reasonably active !sweden that may be interested in the picture.

Regna OP ,
@Regna@lemmy.world avatar

For some reason, I’ve been unable to post or comment to !sweden since about a month ago. I made some posts, but then I couldn’t. At first, I thought it was a bug, then I thought I was shadow banned (mailed the mod and checked just to be informed that they didn’t ban me in any way), then I thought it was a bug again. A few days ago, I just gave up on posting there, as Lemmy just stalls irregardless of what client I use with this account.

I’m encouraging people to go to !stockholm , but it seems it’s mainly me and a couple of other users that peruse it at all. If that sub doesn’t pick up, I’ll ghost it as well, which would suck as I think we have a lot of info to share among one another and with tourists/interested parties.

dandroid ,

I had the same thing happen to me for a different community. I couldn’t even see any posts in that community, not even the ones I made. If I logged out I could see it, but if I logged in I couldn’t.

I eventually created a new account when I made my own instance, and that “fixed” it.

Regna OP ,

Interesting. For me, I could see posts but not post or comment anything at all. I ended up posting in other communities. I’ll see if I get back later.

maporita , to worldnews in The countries that refuse to renounce Islamophobia care about Chinese Muslims the most.

Those are countries that care about free speech. They would also allow burning the bible or the Torah … it’s not just the Koran. The inference in the headline is flawed.

coffeeguy , to mildlyinfuriating in Updated my Samsung phone and it installed unwanted apps

Majorly infuriating.

It’s not really your phone if it does things like this. This is Samsung’s phone you pay for their permission to carry for a few years.

True ownership means fully possessing something and deciding how it operates including what software it runs, what data that software can access, and when it can access it. I would not be surprised if those apps had some very invasive default permissions.

ratsby ,

There’s a difference between not having full ownership and not bothering to use it. There’s plenty of options from rooting to full custom ROMs, and as far as I know Samsung does nothing to prevent you using those, they just don’t do it for you / provide support and updates.

My Canadian S10E has no way to unlock the bootloader.

newthrowaway20 ,

Yeah, you shouldn’t have to root your phone to own it though. This is just straight up asshole design, there are plenty of people out there who aren’t technically savvy who don’t know how to do this stuff. They shouldn’t be forced to circumvent the default software just to remove an app they don’t want in the first place.

min_fapper ,

Last time I bothered researching, Google pixel was the only one that didn’t void the warranty when you unlock the bootloader.

I remember Samsung being especially locked down with hardware e-fuses that blew if you ran any software not signed by their key. You could never reset back to stock afterwards.

Rengoku2 , to mildlyinfuriating in Updated my Samsung phone and it installed unwanted apps

Never seen this on my s21 ultra.

Jmr ,

Also never seen on my Z Fold4

I think it’s mainly on budget and midrange phones. Still unacceptable

snakesnakewhale ,

Certain markets too, perhaps. I’m in the US with an A32 because I’ve just flat-out stopped paying for flagships, and I haven’t seen any junk in the most recent update.

ratman150 ,

Fellow z fold 4 owner, they do it at all price points and I’m patiently waiting for a good Linux phone as the fold will probably be my last Android.

Samsung will install bloat on an $80k TV too…

You’re welcome! Any chance you’re willing to share the recipe? Asking for a friend haha

TheGiantKorean OP ,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

Haha sure, hopefully I can remember correctly. I believe it was an 8:3:1:1 rub - brown sugar, salt, chili powder, and the last 1 was cumin, Sichuan peppercorn, and dried hot pepper. Smoked with hickory at 250ish using a 3-2-1 (3 without foil, 2 wrapped in foil, 1 without foil). I made a sauce using ketchup, mustard, rice wine vinegar, and some leftover rub, and basted that on during the last hour.

RangerAndTheCat ,

Fantastic! Thank you so much, I’ll have some to do/try this weekend (:

    This is why I install LineageOS on every new Android phone I buy. Currently rocking an S8. With the original software it’s really hard to use since the RAM is filling up fast. With LineageOS it’s still an awesome phone.

    Samsung made two different variants of the Galaxy S8 line - one with their own Exynos processors (the good one) and one with Qualcomm processors (the shitty ones).

    Only Exynos devices have LineageOS. I guess that’s why they’re not listed as officially supported.

    I currently run LOS 18.1 (based on Android 11) on my S8, it’s available here: …xda-developers.com/…/rom-signature-spoofing-micr…

    The same developer also made newer releases already. It’s rock-solid and everything works.

    For good camera support I recommend using IDans Gcam mod (Mod8.3b_IDan_v4.7_test2.apk). You can enable HDR and three different moded (Day, Night and Dark), the photo quality is mostly as good as stock, if not even better. It’s a bit buggy when trying to view the photos inside the camera app so I have to use the Gallery a lot, but that’s just a minor nuisance.

    keyez ,

    Ah glad to see the jumping to conclusions and overreacting has made it’s way over from reddit.

    As if a manufacturer hasn’t changed in around a decade and this user not sharing other facts like carrier, unlocked, country, phone model, etc.

    asceticism , to programmerhumor in and people wonder why we say PHP is a meme
    @asceticism@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

    This is not valid syntax as of 2020. PHP 8 fixed a lot of issue like this as well as a lot of function and variable type issues.

    Also this was deprecated in PHP 7 (2015).

    They deprecated nested ternaries?

    Don’t worry, once discord succeeds in killing every forum ever, you won’t be able to find anything like this again!

    lucidwielder ,

    Slack too - just pay them $9 to access your own posts lol.

    theragu40 ,

    Slack kills me. A group of friends of mine from college use it to stayb in touch. Our instance has a dozen or so users, half of them mostly lurk to stay in the loop. For us active members it would definitely be worth paying 7.25/mo or whatever it is, but we don’t want to lock out the others who don’t really use it so often and they definitely wouldn’t pay for it (and some can’t really afford it).

    I wish they had a tier below Pro for personal use (we aren’t a business) that gave full post history and limited everything else and was maybe not per user billing but instead usage based. It’s such a great, intuitive platform and works perfectly for our group of friends except that you can’t go back to look at anything.

    ChromaticMan ,

    All the content that was gathered on Reddit as well.

    Anticorp ,

    Reddit is definitely engaged in some fuckery and is likely going to paywall their site.

    CaptainMinnette ,

    The best discord support servers have a wiki they regularly update with the solutions they’ve helped people solve, though sometimes by just including them in their how-to guides. At least, that’s the case with certain console homebrew/modding communities.

    Anticorp ,

    Discord is a poor replacement for forums. It’s like hearing every conversation in a nightclub all at once. IRC, ICQ, MSN Messenger, and AOL Chat never killed forums, and I doubt Discord will either.

    Saneless ,

    Well at least their search function is good…

    Oh wait it’s complete shit

    theragu40 ,

    I hope not. I don’t understand when people suggest discord as a replacement for forums or things like reddit. It’s not really the same thing at all.

    And that’s to say nothing of it being pretty targeted towards gamers and gamer culture. I am a gamer and don’t mind it but it’s a barrier to adoption for people who aren’t at all into that.

    Anticorp ,

    I play video games. I don’t really like gamers or gamer culture very much at all.

    theragu40 ,

    I’m in the same boat. I at least sort of “understand” it if that makes sense? Like, it’s not my bag but I know about it and that makes it easier to ignore.

    But like…my wife is not at all a gamer. She goes to forums or reddit to follow hobby interests she has. Having a bunch of cringey leetspeak and gamer bro stuff is going to be off-putting to those types of people, and maybe enough to prevent them from adopting the platform at all.

    It certainly factored into our decision to use slack for our college friends group instead of discord.

    Anticorp ,

    Slack is also an easier interface and layout. Discord is pretty confusing the first time you open it. The UI is definitely discordant.

    Maultasche , to programmerhumor in What did you see?!

    Nvm, fixed it.

    XiaoHei OP ,

    Do you have any sources for the concentration camps?

    One only needs to look at the migrant detention camps in the western world to see modern concentration camps.

    The Soviet Union liberated the concentration camps, and the Communists were the first ones rounded up.

    All modern governments have mass surveillance state
